Abstract: A method is proposed for identifying a chemical substance from a set of output states provided by a chemical sensor array being exposed to the chemical substance. The method comprises steps for selecting from a set of class descriptions for different chemical substances a first class description and one or more further class descriptions, whereby the first class description is related to a first chemical substance and a further class description is related to a further chemical substance, estimating a first likelihood value and one or more further likelihood values, whereby the first likelihood value represents a probability that the set of output states corresponds to the first class description, and a respective further likelihood value represents a probability that the set of output states corresponds to a respective further class description, and determining from the estimated first and further likelihood values the class description with the highest likelihood value. Hereby an estimation of a first and/or further likelihood value combines the likelihood values estimated for at least two subsets of the set of output states corresponding to the first and/or further class description, respectively.

Abstract: When bringing pins (2) are engaged with the yarn carrier
at the engagement portions (3a, 3b) near the center of the yarn
carrier, the yarn carrier, as a normal carrier, feeds the yarn
so that the yarn is applied to a knitting needle performing
knitting operation by a carriage. When the bringing pins (2)

yarn carrier, as an inlay carrier, feeds the yarn in preference
to the knitting operation so that the yarn is not applied to
the knitting needle performing the knitting operation by the
carriage. When the projection portions (6a, 6b) of engagement
releasing members (5a, 5b) are pressed by the contact thereof
with the stopper, the engagement releasing members (5a, 5b)
are moved backward, and slope portions (7a, 8a; 7b, 8b) push
up the bringing pins (2) engaged with the yarn carrier at the
